I guard these sleazy streets, br from gambling joint br to speakeasy. br No back alley hoodlum br is gonna muscle in br on my territory. br The gangster and machine gun br is public enemy number one, br in Chicago where the innocent br pay protection to stay free. br br Well nobody gets hurt, br If he walks the straight and narrow. br Bend the arrow out of line, br and you have to reckon with me. br br Chorus br Cause I'm laying down, br Laying down the law. br I'm laying down, br Laying down the law. br br Behind every street corner, br there's vermin crawling out br of the woodwork. br Some low down punk br with a shot gun, br itchin to fill ya full of lead. br Wine,Women br and bootleg whiskey, br threatens the basis of society. br Side walks are paved with blood, br Who couldn't keep their head. br br Sin city never sleeps, br You better learn to br pull no punches. br Eyes to the rear, br cause down here... br They play for keeps. br br (Chorus) br br You say I'm dreaming, br to believe in a better way, br For this rat trap br we call home. br I'm the enforcer br Making sure br that crime don't pay...
